Aye, thats the one, facing the crowd in that shot.  Not sure I can avoid the odd phallus I'm afraid as it's totally random. A 3 piece statue might work though, legs, torsos and head. One for the todo.

Toying with idea of adding a Killion style host, similar to characters in Gunstar.

Great !

Now I can't either :-)

This is looking really sweet indeed, STEVIE G How you make an A-Team van recognisable in a handful of pixels is very impressive.

How you make an A-Team van recognisable in a handful of pixels is very impressive.

Agreed.  It takes a certain skill and is not easy.  Very cool...I'm not producing 3D Graphics like Stevie but going straight to 2D.  But on the flip side, personally for me  it's quite gratifying to make tiny pixel changes and then think, Ah!  That looks so much better, and I've only changed 4 pixels!!  Great fun.

love the a-team van, cool stuff!

Thought I'd get the menus out of the way so that I can concentrate on the gameplay in the last few weeks. The title screen is fully animated. Apologies if anyone is offended by my depiction of the running babes, it is meant to be an 80s style gameshow 

The Running Van title and other refinements required but will revisit if time allows.

He he, love the "80s style gameshow" title screen. Do you hand draw every frame or are they originally in 3D?

[iWasAdam]

Brilliant unique style you've developed there. I'm loving the slightly Marvin-esque look they have

Stevie once wrote he models stuff in 3d...and renders it out. I assume this is done here too.
Saves a lot of time... especially when animating ;-)

Color choice in the image is ...mean ;-) some of the girls have tinted nipples and wesr a choker ;-)

lmao that's hilarious (in a good way).

Draw every frame - not a chance!? As Derron says, full scene is a 3d mesh, I just animate for 64 frames and spit out as bitmaps.

lmao that's hilarious (in a good way).   

Its amazing what a couple of half spheres can accomplish. Cheese is key.

Heres the start screen. I want Trillion (aka Killion) to show up in game too to announce Stalkers or hazard activation. The arenas will be random with random hazzard placement but if you find one you like you can play it again using the 'Old Arena' button.
